You'd imagine right. It's very lowkey though. I don't know if this would feel like a spoiler or not though but they don't really have a romantic moment or kiss or anything like that. The closest it comes to really being made explicit is that you have the opportunity as Rhys to either admit you have feelings for her, or deny that you have them.
But yeah the whole game is great. I really enjoyed it and where it ends up going. I, too, really like stories about friendship and definitely think we need more of them. Though, to be honest, if the choice is between a game that only focuses on friendship and one that has canon gay representation I'd choose the latter as being more important. Like, I'd want to KH to remain focused primarily on friendship but if it had to include romance, and that romance was a gay one, I'd choose that over having no romance, you know what I mean? I just find that kind of representation really important to have.
Really though, it would be nice if there was an abundance of friendship-only stories AND queer stories so it didn't have to feel like a choice, lol.
